Summary
The name can be its complete description (e.g., the precise specification of a refinement). In linguistics, such a description is called a denoting phrase.The name can be a fingerprint or hash of the name's reference (e.g., version information or file contents). (cbb 12/00)
Subtopic: fingerprint/description as identity
Quote: while a description does not give the meaning of a name, it can fix the reference [»kripSA_1980] Quote: a descriptive name is a list of attributes that identifies an object [»hauzBM10_1986] Quote: a description can fix the reference of a name [»kripSA_1980] Quote: in conceptual modeling, an object can exist without a unique identifier, e.g., the author of Ivanhoe is not the same as W. Scott [»borgA1_1985] Quote: most entities do not have unique names, need a descriptive phrase such as employee 999999 [»kentW1_1984] Quote: the initial identification of an object is by description; so a name can't have a reference without a sense [»searJR_1958] Quote: sense supplies the means by which a name is recognized as the thing referred to Quote: if attributes uniquely identify an entity than can use attribute-value pairs as identifiers [»chenPP_1977b]
Subtopic: qualified name/relationship to resolve ambiguities
Quote: a refinement's name is also its precise specification; so prove that refinement matches its name [»redeDH7_1979] Quote: derived Modeler objects named with 48-bit version stamp which hashes the source name, compiler version, switches, and interface version stamps [»lampBW6_1983] Quote: a fingerprint is a fixed-size hash of a byte sequence [»heydA6_2000] Quote: test equality of arbitrary byte sequences by testing their 128-bit fingerprints
Subtopic: directory lookup by description/intention
Quote: a pseudo-key is a set of fields that uniquely identifies a record [»kentW1_1984] Quote: if an entity is the unique association of entities it can be named by their respective names [»senkME1_1973] Quote: qualified names resolves ambiguities by defining context; scope can be nested [»kentW_1978] Quote: if an entity is not identified by its attributes, need to include its relationships to other entities; e.g.,. an address needs street, city, state [»chenPP_1977b]
Subtopic: problems with description as reference
Quote: a directory service should provide access to names by their description Quote: name directory should support mailbox addresses, logical addresses and descriptive addresses [»comeDE11_1986] Quote: use intentional names in distributed environments that describe what is needed instead of where to find it [»adjiW12_1999] Quote: the Intentional Naming System (INS) uses a hierarchy of attributes to locate services and route messages to the appropriate end-nodes [»adjiW12_1999]
Quote: compute links as needed, e.g., by searching for "Glasgow"; problems of incorrect context, jello view
